The Cleveland Browns are about to be on the clock — again.

With a 20-3 loss against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, the Browns clinched the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft while moving to 0-15 on the season. A loss next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers would make the Browns just the second team after the 2008 Detroit Lions to go 0-16.

If Cleveland retains the pick, it would become the first team to make consecutive No. 1 overall selections since the Browns picked Tim Couch and Courtney Brown in the top slot in 1999 and 2000. Defensive end Myles Garrett was the first selection of the 2017 NFL draft.

The Browns also own the Houston Texans' first-round pick after the team moved back from the No. 12 spot last year. The Texans selected quarterback Deshaun Watson with the pick.

The team also holds second-round picks from the Texans (in exchange for taking on Brock Osweiler's salary) and Philadelphia Eagles (as part of the team's trade up to No. 2 overall to select Carson Wentz).

The pick will be the first in Cleveland for general manager John Dorsey, who took over for the fired Sashi Brown.
